Panelled door

[[posterous-content:pid___0]][[posterous-content:pid___1]]This finely carved wooden door is the entrance to a bank in Edinburgh.  Located in St Andrews Square this bank has lain empty for years, well before the current malaise, and was perhaps a portent of things to come..?

The full door and one detail shot.

A statue of St Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, on George Street in Edinburgh.

Evening News article

My photography was featured in Edinburgh's main newspaper today.  The paper edition of the Edinburgh evening News was actually a double page spread with 8 images which you can see on this post.  Thanks to the team at the paper for their coverage which promoted my current exhibition and were so very complimentary about my imagery..........

#Leith Walk Edinburgh

The bright lights of Leith Walk in the distance......shutter detail taken very recently.

New greeting cards

Off out today with my new cards, 22 new designs, bringing the range up to 32 what I think are fantatstic pictorial art cards!  Will have a week of losing shoe leather around town and am confident that they will be well received by all after conducting local market research for the past 2 weeks.  This one shows the Shore in Edinburgh looking very continental.........a web site / page showing the range is in the pipeline too.

 

Copenhagen in Edinburgh

This detail is of Copenhagen, The Duke of Wellington's horse.  It stands at the east end of princes Street in Edinburgh with The Dike himself sitting on him.  The horses legs caught my attention as there are allegedly a set of rules connected with them.  In this instance, having the two front legs off the ground (his rear legs are firmly planted to the statues plinth) means that the rider died in battle.  Other combinations have different meanings.....

Lock detail #edinburgh

This padlock and its surroundings took my eye yesterday.  The simplicity of composition, texture of the metals and linear shapes created form an interesting image. 

A view of Edinburgh

Took a 'wander' up Arthur's seat in Edinburgh the other day.  Clear skies and a sunshine gave great views to every corner of the city.  This one is towards the castle, looking over the top of Salisbury crags.  Arthur's Seat is what remains of the main vent of an enormous volcano that once covered the area where Edinburgh now stands.  All the hills around the city formed a part of this giant which was reckoned to be the height of Mount Everest.....until the ice age came along that is!

The arms of Perth.......

Visited Perth recently.  This shot from the building opposite the now Town Hall shows the city's coat of arms.......

Narcissus

Since the daff's are out all over the place....here is a picture of some!
